Union IBoard cuts
two from list

Mari Stauber, a junior home economics major, takes
advantage of one of the last few warm days to catch up on
her studies on campus.
The UNL Union Board decided Tuesday to eliminate Taco Del
Sol and Runza Drive Inns of America from the list of franchisers
bidding for a place in the Nebraska Union, said board president
Jeff Fishback.
In about two weeks the Union Board will decide whether
Hardee's or Burger King will be the union's new fast-food service,
of if Union Square, the union's own food service, will remain,
Fishback said Thursday.
Taco Del Sol and Runza were eliminated because their menus
were too narrow, compared to Burger King's and Hardee's, Fish
back said. Taco Del Sol's menu is primarily Mexican food. Runza
does not offer "cheap burgers," under a dollar, Fishback said. And
neither have a breakfast menu, he said, which is something the
board wants for the students.
Burger King and Hardee's both offer breakfast menus, he said.
In addition, Taco Del Sol and Runza would not offer as high a
payment for the space as Burger King and Hardee's did, Fishback
said.
Runza offered $17,725 per year and Taco Del Sol offered $26,587
to lease the space, whereas both Burger King and Hardee's offered
about $40,000, said Daryl Swanson, Nebraska Union director.
Currently, Union Square gross profit is about $40,000 per year,
Swanson said.
- "We're not trying to get a profit," Fishback said,"But to justify
it, we need to at least make as much as what the Union Square
makes."
In other business , the Union Board restated its policy on the
sale of Playboy, Penthouse and Playgirl magazines in the
Nebraska unions.
Fishback said the magazines must be kept less visible than
other magazines.
The East Union has been selling Playboy, Penthouse and Play
girl with the other magazines, so they will be moved to a less
visible place behind the counter, Fishback said.

Anthropologist says bipedal man evoked divorce, adultery
By Kirk Zebolsky
Staff Reporter
Our ancestors' need to stand and
migrate was the first of many steps
that eventually led to flirting, divorce
and adultery, an award-winning
anthropologist said Wednesday night.
"Because of that standing up
on two legs we are the sexual
animal that we are," said Dr. Helen
Fisher, who recently received the
Distinguished Service Award, the
American Anthropological Associa
tion's highest honor. Smaller pelvic
bones evolved from man's need to
walk, which made birth more diffi
cult, Fisher said. The result was the
evolution of smaller newborns.
Smaller offspring took longer to
develop, Fisher said, and required
more care from females. The females,
in turn, required more food and pro
tection from males, which resulted
in flirting, Fischer told the crowd of
about 175.
It's an "old human pattern that
evolved two million years ago, when
women began to court men to help
them raise their young.
"Many girls around the world flirt
in exactly the same five-point sys
tem We've all seen it, we've all
done it, " Fisher said. "Mommy
doesn't teach it."
Fisher said two-thirds of "singles
bar behavior" what we do when
we pick somebody up was done
by women for, "very good biological
reasons." Men and women behave in
specific patterns, she said. Men
"stake out territories" and try to
bring attention to themselves with
exaggerted motions. Women use
"the coy look" or "the gaze."
"The second phase is when you
open your mouth," Fisher said. "You
say so much about who you are
what you say makes no difference at
all."
Finally, movements such as lift
ing a drink are sychronized, Fisher
said.
"When you ask somebody to dance,
you're moving straight through all
four stages of the pickup," she said.
"No wonder dancing is part of the
courtship ritual in every single
human society in the world."
With the evolution of longer
childhoods, the weaning time leng
thened to four years, Fisher said.
This may explained why the average
divorce takes place four years after
marriage, she said. .
Fisher stressed that her theories
are just that theories, and that
she is not advocating divorce.
"But," she said, "I got so sick of
people saying divorce is personal
failure. I decided to look at divorce
with some semblance of scientific
background."
Divorce happens in every society,
she said, and most countries' divorce
rates are higher than that in the
United States.
"If you're going to divorce" any
where in the world, she said, "you're
going to do it between the ages of 25
and 29. You're going to do it within
seven years after marriage the
seven-year-itch is a truism. Most
people will divorce in their fourth
year."
Only humans bond with one
another with no intention of having
offspring, Fisher said. "I propose
that the early bonds . . . evolved at
least long enought to raise a single
child through infancy about four
years.'.'
It would have been to the advan
tage of the female to have more than
one male for food and protection,
Fisher said, and likewise the male
would have had a better chance to
have surviving offspring if more
than one female bore his children.
Thus adultery evolved, she said.
Today, 74 percent of men and 54
percent of women are adulterous,
Fisher said. She said she thinks
people are "telling the truth more."
"I suspect adultery, which occurs
in every society, has been high for
some time," she said. "People are
promiscuous."
